Pakistan – An Underrated But Amazing Travel Destination. Best time to travel to Pakistan.

Pakistan is a sovereign state in South Asia and is undoubtedly one of the most underrated tourist destinations. This is a land with heritage, history, rich culture and natural beauty. With the beautiful Nanga Parbat, Neelum Valley, Kaghan Valley, Fairy Meadow and K2, this is a country with exquisite natural beauty that provides numerous beautiful sights to savor for travelers.

When to Go to Pakistan

It is important to note that Pakistan is divided into two parts, Northern and Southern Pakistan which differ on the basis of climate. The best time to visit the Northern Part is during summer and spring. You can experience bright, sunny weather conditions at this time. The clear weather conditions give tourists the ideal opportunity to enjoy the sight of peaks and lush green forests. Northern Pakistan generally has a cold climate all over.
Southern Pakistan, in contrast, is very humid and hot. The weather is very hot in cities like Lahore, Bawalpur, Multan and Karachi. The temperatures reach about 49°C during the daytime and “loo” or hot winds blow through the land. The rainfall generally gets slower during July and August. You should ideally visit Southern Pakistan at the time of winter. Many cultural and historical activities are organized in the southern part during the winter season.

Best Time for Travel to Pakistan

The spring and summer months provide tourists with the ideal weather conditions to visit Northern Pakistan. The winter season is the ideal time to visit Southern Pakistan. During winter, you should visit the southern regions of North Western Frontier Province, Sind, Baluchistan and Punjab. As Azad Kashmir and the northern regions of NWFP experience extremes of cold in winter and become snow clad, the period of summer from May – October offer better travel times.
Pakistan has an arid landscape and it has short supply of water. In recent years, however, use of modern technologies have taken care of the fact that tourists experience no shortage of water at any time of the year - even during peak summer months - during their stay in the local hotels and accommodations.

Festivals and Local Attractions

A multicultural country, Pakistan witnesses various religious festivals as well as celebrations of Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. There are many Eid festivals such as Eid-ul-Azha and Eid-ul-Fitr which see grand celebrations all across the nation. Iqbal Day, celebrated on 9th November, witnesses annual revelries in the form of poetry readings, ceremonies and cultural events. Pakistan Day on 5th May, Kashmir Solidarity Day on 5th February and Love for Muhammad Day on 21st September are important holidays that see nationwide celebrations.
The beautiful country offers tourists everything from stunning mosques and majestic forts to beautiful gardens and lofty mountains. You can visit Islamabad to see the Parliament building, Shah Faisal mosque and the President’s house. The ancient city of Lahore consists of Badshahi mosque, Lahore forts and mausoleums. You can also visit the famous Kim’s Gun cannon, which has been mentioned in Rudyard Kipling’s works, and the Aitchison College among other important attractions.
